The 2015 General Election

I think I may have to leave the country if Gove or May ever became leader of this country.

Osborne ,Gove , May and Boris would probably all put their name forward

Gove is probably the stand out amongst that lot , May may be the more likely winner though , amusing at it would be I don't see it being Boris

The idea of any of them running the country fills me with a deep sense of dread. Cameron is the acceptable face of the Tories, the real scum are the front benchers.

gove looks weaker than miliband cant see it being him

 

think it will be between osbourne and may

 

too soon for boris i think

[MakemineVanilla]

May clearly set her stall out with today's blatantly Thatcheresque speech.

 

And hilariously oblivious that her speech suggested that she didn't care about such things before today.

[blandy]

 

"...and Boris (  ) would tear Milliband a weekly new one at PMQs."

If they were to pick him (unlike most, I still can't see/believe they'd actually choose Boris as leader) then yes, he quite possibly would.

 

I don't think he would - he doesn't seem at all forensic. He has two modes. A kind of faux jolly, relaxed, jokey exterior / annoyed when he's been found out as not being who or what he makes out.

He also doesn't appear to play along with what advisors or spin doctors might wish him to say.

Tories (MPs) like him because he's "popular" with voters - it's just self interest, and also because he's extremely right wing in many areas, behind the facade.

He copes well with being asked questions, or being asked to put his view across, even if he doesn't alway give an answer of any substance, but I don't see him as a good asker of questions, basically.

Phillip Hammond will be the next leader of the Tories methinks. Although Theresa May could be handy if Tories want to go down the traditional right-wing route and frighten people into voting for them because immigrants and terrorists and stuff.

I really don't want to vote for any of the parties. But based solely and purely on economic grounds, I think i'm going to vote for the Tories, and I feel very dirty about doing so!

They'd be utterly mad to make anyone other than Boris as their next leader. He's a walking election win.

[chrisp65]

I would also like Boris to be next tory leader. Sooner the better.

You must watch a different PMQs to me for those things to be of (actual) relevance.

Holy ****, just watched the BBC 6 o'clock news - must have been scripted by Cameron's PR office. Cameron watching his kid play football, Cameron preparing lunch (helped by correspondent James Landale), Cameron supported by his adoring wife in his picture postcard Cotswold village. It would have been pretty cynical and nauseating as a party political broadcast, but as a NEWS item??? Seriously considering a complaint.

Oh, and apparently Jeremy Clarkson is a 'neighbour and friend', FFS.

Yes, very poor.

Mrs Cameron wanders casually in to the kitchen and informs us that she believes, in her mind, that her husband is the best man for the job (of PM).

Well, I'm amazed - that's news, that is. I was expecting her to say that he was shite at it and she wouldn't even trust him to look after the children on a trip out for lunch.

[Mantis]

Liam Fox was always my preferred choice for Tory leader but I understand that clearly won't ever happen.

[bickster]

Listening to the radio on the way home from work and apparently Cameron has said he doesn't want a third term if elected this time…

So if you vote Tory you'll be voting for a PM, who will change mid term and with no idea who that will be. Cameron as a second term PM would be seriously undermined (as was Blair as soon as he announced his intention to step down but at least everybody expected it to be Brown this is worse.)

You know I keep saying that neither of these parties seemingly wants to win this election, well this hasn't changed my mind one bit

[CarewsEyebrowDesigner]

Ugh. Liam Fox. Odious man. Too close to the crazy Christians for it to ever happen thankfully. He'd fit in well in American right.

This is the Cherl Newname I don't even care to remember that only last week that was whingeing about Labours mansion tax plan?

Thank heavens for small mercies.
